The Older Guy

Im always here for you

They got home & their parents werent there, liam searched the upstairs, while peyton went into the kitchen. She looked around seems her stepmother Karen had changed the curtains. Her moms curtains, her last reminder of her mom. Dont get her wrong she liked Karen but she had managed to get rid of everything in the house that belonged to her mom. She didnt get the point , she was married to her dad & her mom was gone, she had won.

Liam passed up her & pulled the milk from the fridge, she knew what he was doing. Making his family famous mixreal. When they had a bad day or had their brother & sister chats it was over a bowl of cereal. Mixareal because he mixed two completely different cereals together & it'd still tasted amazing. The first night they did it was right after their parents got married. He told her they were like the cereal completly different but could work well togther. They grew close after awhile.
His voice cut in her thoughts.
"So how long you & him been together?"
He said pouring the cereals.
"Two years"
"Ha more like two years too long."
She shook her head , " I know what your thinking liam & hes not always like that , really"

His eyes rised to meet hers " really? Well how lucky are you to have an asshole for a boyfriend part time"
He said sarcasticly.'
" He just has it hard right now thats all"
"Yeah he'll have it alot harder if he ever touches you like that again"
She looked down at her bowl.
"Were not little anymore , you cant
protect me & cereal wont fix everything"

He placed his hand over hers on the little table. "Hey whats going on with you?" His tone now serious
" nothing just trying to figure my life out"
" your seventeen peyton , you dont have to have everything figured out"

She didnt want the convo to take an emotional turn so she changed the subject. " How was europe?" She said smiling like a five year old.
He laughed, "subject change huh? Nice"
She shrugged.
"It was amazing!, i can't even describe the food & people, the places , & style is so different from here!"
"Yeah I bet"
"Sucks I only got to be there for a year"
She smiled " what about the womennn?" She said teasing him.

He rolled his eyes " you know me Pey when do I ever have time for women"

"well you better make time because alexis , oh excuse me ALEXAAA has her eyes on you" she said still teasing.
He blushed " Well shes Fire , I definately might  make time to put that out" he said chuckling
Peyton smacked his arm " Hey! Come on! Thats my best friend your talking about"
"What!! Im a guy , i cant help it if I noticed her Ass-sets" he said laughing again.
She smacked his arm again" im warning you"
"Okay shes definately undeniably gorgeous but young though"
"Yeah I know"
He smiled at her " but seriously Peyton Im always here for you, i always wanted a little sister & look what I got , one whos smart , beautiful, funny & can do a hell of alot better then Dylan the Quarterback"
" yeah Im done with him"
"Good"
He came around the table & pulled her into a hug. " youd be better off with someone older, more mature , someone who understands you"
She smiled to herself, little did he know she had just that, he had just described jake.
